Something About Bathing.

Bathing is matter for advice from the
family physician. Modern physiology
says that only exceptionally robust per-
sons can indulge in it daily, and even
then they should hc under 80 years Of
age. Much precious vitality is wasted in
daily plunge hatl.s that might be saved
by their avoidance. Once week is Quite
sufficient for full hath in majority Of
cases. the sponge or wet towel taking ita

Oar Tennessee Guests.

Springfield Leader Sept. 2S.
At the close of the address of Gov.
Taylor and Col. A. A. Taylor, an
impromptu reception was held at the
fair grounds, and general hand shak-
ing INDUCED in. Their speeches
were praised as models Of eloquence
and captivating the hearts and raw
ishing the ears of those fortunate
enough to be within the magical vol
ces OF the speakers. Col. ALI stvung
words Of beauty together on threads
OF silver, in letters of gold, punctuated
with diamonds, and bedecked with
stars. His periods were as graceful as
the Zone of Venus, and as fascinating
as the goddess. The sentences of the
Governor were as clear and limpic as
the water of his beautiful Watauga,
and as sonorous as the reverberations
of the shouts OF victory from the Sons
OF Liberty at the battle so happily
apostrophized by the speaker and
known to history as Kings Mountain.
The Governor and the would-be gov
ernor were affdble, easy, gallant in
manners, one lady remarking to Col,
ALI that "the reason he was not cleo
ted was because the ladies didn't
vote" He acknowledged the tender
compliment by saying, mo doubt,
madame, no doubt"
Last night they were dined at the
residence of Mrs. Kelly, where sallies
OF wit set the table in a roar and for
two hours held the attention of the
fortunate few who composed the
charmed circle. At 8 o'clock the dis
tingueshed guests were driven to the
depot and they departed for Old Ten
nessee. The gentlemen at the din
ing were Capt. J. 7. Hubbard, Drs
Teft and Clements, Capt. Geo, NJ
